Popis: The adsorption of probe molecules such as NH{sub 3} and CO{sub 2} was studied on about 20 simple metallic oxides by use of microcalorimetry in order to determine the number and character of basic and acidic surface sites. Microcalorimetry allowed a simultaneous determination of the strength and energy distribution of the adsorption sites. The adsorption isotherms, the differential heats, the integral heats, and the energetic histograms are given for NH{sub 3} and CO{sub 2} adsorptions. Relationships between the average adsorption heats of NH{sub 3} and CO{sub 2} have been found as a function of the ionic character percentage and of the charge/radius ratio.
